The Rant: Marlins need a new owner to go along with new stadium

If you haven’t taken the time to read Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria’s “Letter to our Fans” you should. It’s one of the most brazen, absurd pieces of garbage I’ve come across in a long time.

Loria, for some unspeakable reason, felt like it was time to justify his stupidity this past offseason — or perhaps for the entirety of his ownership. If you need a reminder, Loria gave away all of the team’s best players after a mediocre first season in their new stadium. So really, he was getting rid of salary a year after pretending to care. Despicable. His entire letter is a sad attempt to spin this forward. Here’s one line: “Fans didn’t turn out last season as much as we’d like, even with the high-profile players the columnists decry us having traded.” If his goal was to mend the torched bridge, he failed. Horribly.
